Whatsapp bot for CARE

[khavinshankar]

Project Detail

CARE is a centralized capacity management and patient management system, central to the 10BedICU Project, integrating patients, doctors, hospitals, labs, specialized treatment centers, hospital administrators, and shifting control cells. Hospitals update crucial information about their assets, providing district administration with a comprehensive view of the healthcare system via smart dashboards. CARE digitizes patient records, streamlines workflows for pandemic management, and is deployed in remote areas, enabling Tele-ICU services for underserved citizens. It revolutionizes healthcare management, enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and patient outcomes.

Features To Be Implemented

Build a wrapper on care that IM bots can use to get information or send a notification. The idea behind this feature is to ease and improve the user experience.

• Build a generic IM wrapper for care which the respective bots can use to interact with care

• Build a WhatsApp bot which can be used by both patients and hospital staff

  For Patients

  • Should fetch their patient records
  • Should fetch their current medications
  • Should fetch their procedures

  For Users (Hospital Staff)

  • Should fetch their schedules (to be done after scheduling)
  • Option to fetch asset status
  • Option to fetch inventory data

The above-mentioned list of items (both For Patients and For Users) is subject to change, the mentioned features are just to give an idea of what needs to be done.

While implementing this, a conscious effort should be taken to prevent the Private Personal Information (PPI) of other patients from being shared.

Hello @nihal467 ,

I am Rajesh Kumar Singh an undergraduate engineering student, with strong passion in full-stack development. I have read the problem statement and I am really interested to contribute to this project.

I have read the project features to be implemented and I think my skills be really helpful for the project, as it's requirements align with my past experience, I have worked with developing chat bots before, I have developed a chat bot my self in a hackathon hosted my Morgan Stanley, I built it in a react native application. Additionally I have built telegram bots using Aiogram in python. I think my skills will be really helpful for the project.

Overview:
The project involves building a wrapper for the CARE platform to facilitate interaction via instant messaging (IM) bots, with a focus on improving user experience. Additionally, a WhatsApp bot will be developed to serve both patients and hospital staff, providing functionalities such as fetching patient records, medications, procedures, schedules, asset status, and inventory data.

Roadmap:

1. Wrapper Development: Create IM wrapper API for CARE platform.
2. WhatsApp Bot Development: Build bot for patient and staff interaction with help of TWILIO.
3. Privacy Measures: Implement data protection measures.
4. Testing and Deployment: Test, deploy, and monitor.

@NutNick31 Your Roadmap looks good as a very minimal overview. Please do make a detailed proposal to take up the project as part of GSoC.

Please note that we would prefer not to use Twilio but WhatsApp's official APIs. Also, ensure that your approach is modular enough such that the WhatsApp part is switchable with any other IM in the future

Hello,
My name is Xiaoyang (Jason) Xie, and I am a Master student currently at University of Toronto studying computer engineering, and undergraduate studies in computer science at Western Univeristy. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the Whatsapp bot for CARE for Open HealthCare Network.

Having focused my studies on algorithms, full-stack development and other software engineering skills, I am particularly interested in contributing to projects that involve the implementation of healthcare technology and its potential to transform patient care. I believe my background and skills align well with several aspects of this topic, including:

1. Proficiency in Java and Python for backend development, automation, and data processing tasks.
2. Experience with frameworks like flask, Spring Boot, Hibernate, and Robot Framework for building robust backend services, database operations, and automated testing.
3. Familiarity with Docker, Jenkins, and Agile methodologies for efficient deployment, continuous integration, and responsive project management.

I am committed to delivering a functional and user-centric GUI for the robust data handling capabilities, and interactive visualization tools. I look forward to collaborating with the team to achieve our goals and make impactful contributions to the project.

Thank you for considering my candidacy, and I am eager to contribute my skills and expertise to this exciting endeavor.

I am eager to leverage my skills and knowledge to contribute to your projects and help drive your organization's success. I am confident in my ability to deliver high-quality code and solutions that meet your requirements and exceed expectations.

After reading through the features that need to be implemented, I believe that my skills will be very beneficial for the project because the requirements match my previous experience working with chat bot development. I have even created a chat bot myself using Django channels and chatterbox. Furthermore, I have developed a full stack Online Booking and Medical Consultation web application using Django.

Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the prospect of working together and contributing to your projects.
